Book excerpt: Health in the Americas, 1990 edition, is the tenth publication in a series of quadrennial reports issued since 1954 as a way to document the health progress attained by the Member Governments of the PAn AMerican Health Organization... As did previous publications in this series, this edition responds to the varied interests of many different users. It offers Member Governments and the Governing Bodies of PAHO information on the major health trends in the region as a whole and in each one of the countries. In addition, it serves as a reference source for national and international organizations and for students, researchers, and health workers in the countries. THe 1990 edition's two volumes present information mainly for the 1985-1988 period. The first volume reports on health conditions from a regional perspective and comprises three parts and a statistical annex. The first part deals with the overall context: it describes some of the region's political, economic, and social trends; the main demographic characteristics; and an overview of mortality and environmental health. THe second part explores health conditions in the region, focusing on children, adults, the elderly, and women, and health systems infrastructure, describes the health sector's response to the problems that have been identified and reports on the environmental health infrastructure in terms of water supply and sewerage, urban sanitation, environmental pollution, and occupational health. The annex to this volume is a compilation of the most up-to-date statistical data available, which supplement information published in previous reports and serve to document the text. The second volume summarizes the health conditions and infrastructure in each of the region's countries; its analysis by subject area follows the organization of the first volume (Director-PAHO).

Download or read book Disease in the History of Modern Latin America written by Diego Armus and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2003-03-26 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging traditional approaches to medical history, Disease in the History of Modern Latin America advances understandings of disease as a social and cultural construction in Latin America. This innovative collection provides a vivid look at the latest research in the cultural history of medicine through insightful essays about how disease—whether it be cholera or aids, leprosy or mental illness—was experienced and managed in different Latin American countries and regions, at different times from the late nineteenth century to the present. Based on the idea that the meanings of sickness—and health—are contestable and subject to controversy, Disease in the History of Modern Latin America displays the richness of an interdisciplinary approach to social and cultural history. Examining diseases in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia, the contributors explore the production of scientific knowledge, literary metaphors for illness, domestic public health efforts, and initiatives shaped by the agendas of international agencies. They also analyze the connections between ideas of sexuality, disease, nation, and modernity; the instrumental role of certain illnesses in state-building processes; welfare efforts sponsored by the state and led by the medical professions; and the boundaries between individual and state responsibilities regarding sickness and health. Diego Armus’s introduction contextualizes the essays within the history of medicine, the history of public health, and the sociocultural history of disease. Contributors.

This book was released on 2010-03-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some societies fare well, and others poorly, at reducing the risk of early death? Wealth, Health, and Democracy in East Asia and Latin America finds that the public provision of basic health care and other inexpensive social services has reduced mortality rapidly even in tough economic circumstances, and that political democracy has contributed to the provision and utilization of such social services, in a wider range of ways than is sometimes recognized. These conclusions are based on case studies of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand, as well as on cross-national comparisons involving these cases and others.

Download or read book The Return of Epidemics written by Marcos Cueto and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians have long recognized epidemics to be a significant, though sometimes hidden, factor in the fortunes of societies and civilizations. The study of epidemics heightens our understanding of relationships between economic systems and living conditions. It illuminates the ideologies and religious beliefs of the affected community and illustrates the efforts and inadequacies of public health systems. This investigation of the history of epidemics in various parts of Peru during the twentieth century opens up a new field for Latin American studies to include health and disease. These are important areas of the past that enable us to understand better the living conditions of people, the role of state authority and the dynamics of social movement. Marcos Cueto examines five series of epidemics: the bubonic plague of 1903-1930; the fever epidemic of 1919-1922; the typhus and small pox epidemics in the Andes; attempts to control and eradicate malaria, and the cholera epidemics of 1991. In each case he studies the biological and ecological factors that caused the outbreak, and the techniques and policies applied to fight it, together with the response of the affected society. The experience of epidemics in Peru has been cyclical. Poverty breeds disease which in turn results in further poverty. One of the aims of this study is to highlight areas of success and failure in the fight against epidemics in the hope that such awareness may help break this vicious circle.
